• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCTM/RG137 - Stage (loc. &1, loc. &2) of a trip: Duration is not defined ?

  The SAP error message /SCTM/RG137 indicates that there is an issue with the duration of a stage in a trip within the SAP Transportation Management (TM) module. Specifically, it states that the duration for a stage between two locations (loc. &1 and loc. &2) is not defined. This can occur when the system is unable to determine how long a particular stage of transportation should take, which is essential for planning and scheduling.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Duration Definition: The most common cause is that the duration for the specific stage (between the two locations) has not been defined in the system. This could be due to missing configuration or data entry.
  Incorrect Master Data: The master data for the locations involved may not be set up correctly, leading to the inability to calculate the duration.
  Transportation Lane Issues: If there is no transportation lane defined between the two locations, the system will not be able to determine the duration.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the transportation network, such as missing or incorrect entries in the relevant tables.
  
  Solution:
  
  Define Duration: Go to the configuration settings in SAP TM and ensure that the duration for the specific stage between the two locations is defined. This can typically be done in the transportation lane settings.
  Check Transportation Lanes: Verify that there is a transportation lane defined between the two locations. If not, create a new transportation lane that includes the necessary details, including the duration.
  Review Master Data: Check the master data for the locations involved to ensure that all necessary information is correctly entered and complete.
  Update Configuration: If the duration is based on specific criteria (e.g., distance, mode of transport), ensure that these criteria are correctly configured in the system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific steps on how to define durations and transportation lanes in your version of SAP TM.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes such as /SCMTMS/PLN for planning or /SCMTMS/TL for transportation lanes to access the relevant configuration settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on configuration.
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration by creating a new trip or modifying an existing one to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message and ensure that the duration for the stages in your trips is properly defined.
